Sputnik 0667 PC mod: perfect for your early 1900s living room
Do ya hate that slick, aluminum unibody design that you just shelled out a thousand plus smackers for? Looking for something that just screams alt-tech, not high-tech? Then please, feast your steampunky eyes on this beauty of a PC mod that'll fit perfectly alongside your Memaw's china closet. Crafted by Swedish art student Love Hulten, this wood-grained cabinet of wonders takes its design cues from "the 20th century and old hi-fi." Hiding under that well-varnished hood is a Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 Mini-ITX motherboard with a 3.2GHz Core i3 500 processor, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB HDD and a GeForce GTX 460 GPU and a log-fire power supply. Love's hybrid commode is up for sale, but you'll have to contact the artist himself to get pricing. Check the sources below for a few more shots, as well as a bit of inspiration from the last millennium.
Suissa carves out Enlighten desktop PC
Suissa already has a decent range of custom-made wooden PCs for you to choose from, but if you've yet to be satisfied with one of its luxurious offerings, you may want to consider the company's new Enlighten model, which pushes the company's unconventional designs to even greater heights. In addition to your choice of materials used for the exterior, this one comes based around a micro ATX motherboard, which accommodates either a quad-core Intel or AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ processor, an NVIDIA 8800GTX or ATI Radeon HD2900XT graphics card, 4GB of RAM, 1TB of hard drive space, a DVD burner and an ample 620W power supply. No word on a price, but each one does need to be commissioned, which is rarely an encouraging sign.[Thanks, Martynas]
